    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “The early church, for centuries, resolutely held to New Testament gospel peace. An important document on church order in the third century, for example, listed soldiering alongside brothel keepers, gladiators, idol makers, astrologers, and prostitutes as professions forbidden to those seeking...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Spurgeon was never on board your ship. Why did you say he is one of your favorite Christian authors, then turn around and drag him through the mud?

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    Three points for my readers to consider in regard to your post: 1. The church in the Apostolic and Ante Nicene periods of church history wasn’t feminized, etc. 2.

    It’s my understanding that you’re a retired truck driver. I respect that, and I wouldn’t dream of saying that you have no convictions. You may have been a terrific truck driver, but you haven’t read the Ante Nicene Church Fathers. Now that you have more free time on your hands, I encourage you...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    I’ve posted dozens of quotes from Christian authors of articles and books which agree with me and disagree with you; Spurgeon - a favorite Christian author of yours, you’ve said - being but one such example. I’ve posted a few quotes from non-Christian authors of articles and books which agree...

    Reason for The Crusades explained

    “War is evil” -> a sentiment attributable to many people; people who support war and people who oppose war. I’ve provided a few quotes, in this thread and others, from representatives of both positions expressing it. I’ve provided more quotes of this nature from the group that supports war...
